“The office of Jill Westmoreland Rose, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of North Carolina in Charlotte, has “begun investigative efforts” into the online communications between disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner and a 15-year-old girl, officials said. Meantime, an FBI task force in New York designed to combat the sexual exploitation of children also is investigating the digital communications between the two. The investigations began after an online outlet, DailyMail.com, on Wednesday published an interview with the girl in which she describes online and text exchanges with Weiner that went on for several months this year.”
